Ever wanted to be a dragon and soar across beautiful landscapes, bursting your enemies into flames and using magical dragon powers? So have I, what a great familiar concept. Play any of the Spyro games and you will get that experience, play Dragon Rage and – where do I start…
Read MoreHave you ever stared at a math equation or a tax return paper for ages wondering how in the world you were going to figure it out, well that’s literally the main exhibit of this new title The Guest by Team Gotham and published by 505 Games, but don’t get me wrong it’s a particularly rewarding and enjoyable title.
Read MoreAs a 13-year-old kid, Bully was my first foray into the wonderful world of Rockstar, and what better way to do it. Games like GTA and Red Dead would have been a) for the most part not released yet and b) using hindsight, those franchises would have gone way over my head.
Read MoreBrothers: A Tale of Two sons is about the true bond between a pair of siblings as they go on a perilous journey across strange lands in order to find a cure for their ailing father. It’s a story of family, love and teamwork… This is what I would have written if I weren’t a cynical bastard.
Read MoreI enjoyed Captain America: Civil War quite a bit. However, that’s not to say that the movie lived up to its full potential.
Read More…His cheery disposition frightens you somehow. Nevertheless, you nod in compliance. “Very good! Very good! Right this way then.” He says and beckons you towards him. His name is Tom Nook; he is the local storeowner and entrepreneur…
Read MoreHidden Gem Hunting will accompany me as I search charity shops, car-boot sales & discount stores for cheap video games. I will report my findings back here, once a week…
Read MoreAh! It’s my favorite marsupial of my favorite childhood franchise! Crash fucking Bandicoot! (Fucking is not Crash’s middle name but goddamn he’s awesome!) Memories…
Read More‘Walking Simulators’ often get a lot of hate from gamers and non-gamers alike. Personally, they are my favourite style of games. By stripping away other elements, it lets the developers focus on great storytelling, interesting characters and intuitive gameplay.
Read More20 years ago, Japan got the very first Pokémon games ever; Pokémon Red, and Pokémon Green. From there began a cultural phenomenon. And whilst it took an unfairly long time for us westerners to get the games for our own handhelds, it was worth the wait!
Read MoreBioshock is one of the greatest first-person shooters of all time. The story is creepy and full of twists and turns and the gameplay flows without fault. The setting is what sells the game for me, with the desolate, atmospheric remnants of one man’s paradise.
Read MoreBreast Game Ever! Onechanbara is one of the shallowest games I have ever played. Its name translates to ‘Big Sister Sword Fighting Movies’. It features scantily-clad sisters with zombie-blood absorbing…
Read MoreWhereas Sonic made me start to love video games it was Mega Man who made me stay. I don’t know what it was about Mega Man that made me love his games. It could have been the game play, the challenging levels and boss battles, or the fact that he had a freaking CANNON FOR AN ARM!
Read MoreMy favourite parts of the God of War trilogy are the parts you travel through Hell to fight Hades. Dante’s Inferno is pretty much more of the same. Many people saw this as a generic hack n’ slash game, but I saw it as a standalone epic adventure deep into the bowels of Hell.
Read MoreFree Radical, the creators of the amazing Timesplitters series, went into administration after this release. Haze was pitched to be the PS3s answer to Halo. The next big thing turned out to be all kinds of stupid. From the dumb AI to the bro-centric jock plot to the hour-long install time, this game just didn’t live up to its unfathomable expectation.
Read MoreQuantum Break is a perfectly alright game. Anything that it does well gets overshadowed by its ambition to do something new.
Read MoreIt had a nice feel to it, the trailer looked smooth and the gameplay seemed different, so I picked up this little title to give it a go with my family, but did it live up to my expectations?
Read MoreI’m not a huge fan of dirt biking, motocross or any kind of motorcycle sport. I bought Crusty Demons based on the title imagining a hack n’ slash, and in a way, that’s what I got…
Read MoreA history lesson isn’t necessary here, and neither is it wanted. Let’s just say that if first person shooters had a Mount Rushmore, you’d see B.J. Blazkowicz up there rubbing shoulders with the likes of Doom’s Space Marine and Halo’s Master Chief.
Read MoreBurnout 3: Takedown was my favourite racing game for years, the brutality of the takedowns and velocity of the racing filled me with so much adrenaline and the crash mode lead to hours of fun. How did Burnout Paradise stack up against its older brother?
Read MoreThere is no clear indication as to when exactly games became an art form. Perhaps they always were. Great storytelling is nothing new to this medium, and it only grows stronger as the tools needed for its creation evolve.
Read MoreThe first episode of Game of Thrones season 6 has officially aired and the product of one year’s wait was…
Read MoreThis game was my childhood, and due to the lack of an existing sequel, it has followed me into adulthood too. The Timesplitters series is not only my favourite FPS series but it’s also my favourite series, without a doubt.
Read MoreFrom the folks that brought you Luminous Arc and Luminous Arc 2 comes a brand new game that feels like a masterpiece in every way…
Read MoreLet me preface this by saying I have a very special place in my heart for Ratchet and Clank. I grew up playing these games, and enjoyed every single one…
Read MoreGone are the days of fun and exciting shooters. The realistic military shooter is now the norm, and no matter how much they try to stand out, you always feel as if you’re playing the same game. Call of Medalfield: The Taken King has taken over the FPS genre, and I miss the days of gimmicks and quirky split-screen CTF modes.
Read MoreI suppose the Souls franchise is mostly known for its difficulty, which is a damn shame if you ask me. The thing it should be known for in my opinion is how it handles its lore. Very few games throw you off into the deep end with next to no explanation like a Souls game will…
Read MoreDevil Kings is really fun. Fun as in it feels like you’re playing Dynasty Warriors, which is fun. This game is a shameless clone that fails to effectively copy its idol, but still comes out guns blazing – quite literally.
Read MoreI’ve become addicted to this innovative, fast-paced and beautiful game. The intensity is in a whole different gear to other racing titles, and the variance of the levels is exhilarating. Split/Second is my ‘just let me finish this one level’ game.
